Die Opiinae der äthiopischen Region (Hymenoptera: Braconidae).

Abstract

There is attempted a taxonomic study of the aethiopic Opiinae. 5 of the 13 known genera of this subfamily have representatives in the aethiopic region (Opius Wesm., Gnaptodon Hal., Ademon Hal., Austroopius Szepl., and Thoracoplites Fischer). This publication deals with 100 species, 96 of them belonging to Opius Wesm., while each of the other 4 genera is represented by only 1 species. There are given keys for the identification of subgenera, sections, groups, and species. Detailed redescriptions of the already described species are given, as far as not yet done by the author in his earlier publications, with notes on lacalities and distribution. 27 species are described as new.
